Dropping the ball would be ignoring something you should have acted on.

Yet again the Met and its pisspoor commanders picked up a ball which was not their place to touch and ran around naked with it, flicking excrement at the crowd like a bunch of chimps and then apologised when anyone had the temerity to notice.

When are the police going to focus on catching and incarcerating career criminals and those perpetrating violent crimes rather than policing public interest journalism and those who upset the feelings of others

People who know about these things tell me Rowley is a good copper. It’s about time he proved it

“Dad, tell me about those two weeks in summer 2026 when you thought we would sign Vinicius Junior” 😭

I’m trying not to get over-excited about @vinijr possibly coming to Arsenal but if Mr Ornstein’s using the phrase ‘winger attracted by opportunity’, I may need to start getting very over-excited.

[Jack Colson @Justanotherjack]

Who is running comms this badly at the Met? When you know the public has real concerns about your ability to tackle street crime, why would you post this? It’s like watching someone repeatedly step on a garden rake, get smacked in the face, and then try to arrest the rake.

[Metropolitan Police @metpoliceuk]

Earlier today - Monday, 27 July - we received a third-party report relating to an image shared on social media.

We take reports of this nature extremely seriously, and officers are conducting enquiries into the matter.

This is a brilliant thread. Do read it.

Wayne Rooney on Argentina’s thugs: “Does it surprise you?”

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Disgusting behaviour by the Argentinians at the end, especially Paredes.
Just a bunch of nasty violent thugs, and a disgrace to football. Never been so happy to see a team lose.

[Robert Colvile @rcolvile]

Who'd have thought that a team as classy as Argentina would have a player who literally attacked the Spanish after the game?

[Evan Hill @evanhill]

Least likable team in world football by a mile

[TC @totalcristiano]

Argentina players showing zero class.

Disgusting. https://t.co/ITbCyX8Kug

Liz Truss opens CPAC GB. In fairness it’s quite early.

[Falkland Islands @falklands_utd]

Bummer! Congratulations to Argentina on their win tonight. Some excellent banter on here. 😆

On reflection, it would have been amazing to beat you on the pitch tonight and we’d have given you plenty of stick.. but similar to 1986 and Diego’s grubby right hand (nevermind 1998 and Simones lack of core strength) it doesn’t give you the win that you’ll never have. 😘🇫🇰🇬🇧

[Tim Shipman @ShippersUnbound]

Correct. It’s a disgrace actually. A collective character flaw

[Jack Colson @Justanotherjack]

Parking the bus: not a good strategy against teams like Wolves, a very bad strategy against a team with Messi #England

It's always amusing when the politics of grievance backfires spectacularly

[Toby Tarrant @tobytarrant]

This is wonderful, Farage supporters thinking it's a gotcha moment because they've discovered Count Binface isn't really an intergalactic space warrior from the planet Recyclon with a bin for a face...

Are they starting to get worried Farage could actually lose to a bin? 😂😂

[Ben Kentish @BenKentish]

We’re genuinely now in a position where there’s a concerted effort underway to portray Count Binface as the face of the British establishment…

[Count Binface @CountBinface]

I can neither confirm nor deny that Robert Jenrick has asked to defect to the Count Binface Party. I can confirm that the answer's no.

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

Genuine question. What role has Count BinFace been performing for The Establishment in all the other elections he’s stood in. Why did he stand against Andy Burnham in Makerfield. How was that part of the UniBin masterplan…

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

You know what. I think Count BinFace has been preparing for this moment from the beginning. People have always asked “why are you doing this?”. Now we know. It’s a plan years in the making. He’s basically an Establishment Sleeper-Bin.
